I would guess many of the characters are not in the new series. ie the baddies.

- Thread starter palindromicbob
- Start date
I believe that is correct, based on the snippets I've heard.
Apparently the first was based on a John le Carre book, the second is purely a TV piece using the same, good guy, characters.

The Ballad of Wallis Island - charming, poignant, funny.
Thoroughly recommended.

The Friend (Sky). Slow moving but enjoyable.
Over Christmas we were talking about fun films from decades ago. Anyway, Speed came up and my son mentioned he had never seen it. We couldn't find it on normal TV so we rented it from Amazon, £3.49. Loved it, it still stood up to scrutiny and Sandra Bullock is still gorgeous 
. For a change, my son didn't mock it either, he enjoyed it as well

Couple of films I’ve watched in the last week that I either haven’t watched all through before, or have forgotten…Wizard of Oz a few days ago and last night Jaws. Rather enjoyed Jaws…WoO is just a bit weird but fun…I guess.

I did not watch the film but watched the documentary shown before which was very good.
I read the book many years ago - great read. So much more in it than than the film, which gets talked about in the documentary.

So, to Lord Tyrion reply 6793 and jim8flog 6797 I double checked.
I definitely watched ..... E1S1 and thoroughly enjoyed having no bluddy recollection.
One of the joys of remembering everything from decades ago but bugger all from the last few years
A few weeks ago my wife decluttered our book collection from upstairs and I double checked. I said "Hang on, I'm reading this!'", and I was. The one I was reading was in the living room and I'd bought it a few weeks back

House Of Dynamite on Netflix, pretty good at ratcheting up the tension and we enjoyed it…apart from THAT ending. I don’t mind bizarre endings to films but wtf

Had to smile at myself last week
I had watched most of the Marvel stuff but when it came to Endgame I could not place Dr Strange.
Tried to pick up a cheap DVD without success
I got Disney and it was the first thing I watched and quickly realised I had already seen it whilst it was still on Sky.

The Ballerina, finally got round to watching it general feeling is it’s absolutely terrible but 2hrs watching Anna De Armas is not necessarily a waste of time.

Even she couldn’t save it for me.
But I’m not a John Wick fan.

It was genuinely awful wasn’t it. I’ve watched all the John Wick series apart from the first one they’re all terrible. Only reason I didn’t turn it off is I have nothing better to do and she’s very prettyEven she couldn’t save it for me.

Watching Avatar,Way of the water, in prep for watching the latest release.
3 1/4 hrs of CGI and not much else, maybe not bother with the next one.
Think the only reason we enjoyed the very first one was because we saw it in 3D.

First John Wick was superb, then it slipped somewhat, but 2 was ok to be fair.
As for anyone who finds watching AdeA painful I feel for

Not a Hollywood blockbuster, and some plot holes - but a bit different and watchable (IMO)
